Historically, Mexico has been neutral in large-scale international conflicts, with the exception of the Second World War, and the country will tend to preserve that stance, furthermore, Mexico promotes equality amongst all nations and may only intervene in bellic events if the nation's interests, infrastructure, resources and/or the people's wellbeing (regardless of nationality) are in peril by said conflict or country. If said country or conflict is in violation of international law, Mexico will consider intervening through internal democratic debate.

The Mexican Navy is one of the two independent Armed Forces of Mexico. The actual naval forces are called the Armada de México. The Secretaría de Marina (SEMAR) (English: Naval Secretariat) includes both the Armada itself and the attached ministerial and civil service.

The Navy's stated mission is "to use the naval force of the federation for external defense, and to help with internal order".

Naval forces are also responsible for the protection of Mexico's vast maritime extension, and aid people in distress due to natural disasters and protect the country's interests on high seas.

The Air Force responds directly to the Navy's Admiralty, however both organizations have freedom of action in peacetime. If a situation of war that threatens Mexico's territories presents itself, full command of aerial operations to the navy's chain of command is given.

Ships commissioned to the Mexican Navy must include the prefix "ARM" (Armada República Mexicana) by presidential decree.

Siempre Leales ("Always Loyal")

The Mexican Army (Spanish: Ejército Mexicano) is the combined land and air branch and largest of the Mexican Armed Forces; it is also known as the National Defense Army.

It was the first army to adopt (1908) and use (1910) a self-loading rifle, the Mondragón rifle.

Mexico has no major foreign nation-state adversaries. It officially repudiates the use of force to settle disputes and rejects interference by one nation in the affairs of another. Though the nation has not suffered a major international incident that involves it directly, the government has taken into consideration the need of utilizing the ways of warfare if required by the circumstances or national interests of that time.

The Army also works in conjunction with the Navy and the Air Force in various types of operations, with the Admiralty being the pinnacle of the command chain. The current mission of the Mexican Army is:

To strive for equality, respect and solidarity among the most nations possible.

Become one of the most respected nations in the world.

Defend those against the threat of injustice.

To protect the nation's interests and people.
